2010.08.20 Madrid Protocol for the International registration of trademarks - Accession of Israel
The Madrid Protocol will enter into force with respect to Israel on September 1, 2010 bringing the total number of Contracting Parties of the Madrid system to 85. Until today, the only mean to protect a trademark in Israel was to file a national application. The accession of Israel to the Madrid system involves a reduction of fees to get trademark protection in said country.
